As an Army Reserve 88H cargo specialist, how often do you get deployed overseas and what would be a length of deployment?

The "goal" was one year out of every five for RC soldiers. Deployments for CENTCOM are now down to 9 months, but Atlantic Resolve is a year. Depends on many factors. Plan on a year plus mobilization/demobilization time.

*length

Good question, so your answer is simple. Contact S1 from your brigade level. Look into transferring to a unit that is deployed and looking for people to extend. There is always going to be a slot open. Being that your 88h you will never do your job...ever...on the bright side you will however, be able to fulfill a slot as a 88m or 88n. Especially in Kuwait. Once you are boots on ground in Kuwait you will be able to do in-theater-extensions for up to 3 years. Dwell time is based on you. You can sign a waiver and do 3 years all over again and earn the name mob junkie and have more ribbons and medals than a Mexican general. Get access and learn the systems keep your clearance and you’ll even probably go to a det in Iraq and Afghanistan for tdy out of Kuwait. Being in Kuwait might sounds horrific but you will collect a bunch of coins, 5k shirts, medals, overseas service stripes, if tdy possible CAB and combat patch, Norwegian ruck march badge, German armed forces proficiency badge, air assault school, BLC and a crap ton of visits to nearby countries.
